sam triple Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Got mine on skinners puppy food at the mo ,but will switch to CSJ puppy food when this bag is finished , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Stick to what the breeder is feeding to begin with. Mine was rubbish on lots of kibbles that I tried so ended up feeding raw. Better poops and the dog was better with house training as he didn't have a bad stomach all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Cjs is good but IMHO nothing beats raw fed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More expensive but you don’t need to feed as much due to the quality of ingredients. Dog looks much better on the Eden.

samboy Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Mixed chicken and tripe with biscuit added for my dogs. In my opinion dry food is just a convenience food. Dry food must be like eating cereal with no milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwayup Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 My Springer used to have bouts of upset stomach until we switched to Markus Muhle cold pressed complete food - very limited outlets, so I purchase online. Put the puppy on their Junior option. https://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/dog-food-reviews/0341/markus-muehle-natural-dog-food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Been through loads of food with my springers and Arkela was best for coat and overall condition but loose stools forced me to shop around - have found Tesco stock one called Naturo that they seem to love and the ingredients seem fine.

Dave at kelton Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Skinners puppy food is good and frankly you should be fine with any similar good quality feed. As you say keep the pup on whatever the breeder has used until you decide if you want to change. Dry is fine but I always let it soak before feeding. I know there is a big move to raw but I know a lot of people who have moved away from it with no detrimental effect on working ability, stamina, condition etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam triple Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 had mine on skinners always wetted it down for him then one morning he just turned his nose up at it wouldn't touch ,tried it dry still wasn't keen so tried Csj feed same reaction then a workmate told me to try Millies Wolfheart had an online chat they suggested 2 to try so I bought an extra taster bag found one he absolutely gorged on so have ordered more of it ,ok its dearer than the others but to me well worth it , hes looking amazing on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
